1080i vs 1080p?..

[HarryGRGamer]

Hello.. so I'm confused about this 1080i vs 1080p i've got a 23inch fujitsu 1080p monitor and when I choose the 1080i option the whole screen colors etc I can't explain it a lot but It just doesn't look right to me on the desktop and games I haven't changed it to 1080p yet because I don't know if there is a difference or it's just me
what is better the i or the p or it's the same what do you guys have on your monitors I need help what should I choose 1080p or 1080i
Thanks have a good day y'all

i is interlaced and p is progressive.
p is better than i as it shows a more clean screen

1080i means the resolution is interlaced, that means only half the pixels get updated in each frame, so this can produce artifacts and a blurry image.
1080p means progressive, all pixels are updated each frame.
You should get better image quality using the progressive option.

1080i video is "interlaced." 1080i video plays back at 60 frames per second, but that's a bit deceptive, because it's actually broadcast at 30 frames per second. The TV then displays those frames twice, in a way—the first pass is 1,920-by-540 for the even scan line field, and the second pass is 1,920-by-540 for the odd scan line field. The process by which this occurs is called interlacing. It contributes to a sense of motion and reduces perceived flicker.

1080p video is called "progressive scan." In this format, 1,920-by-1,080-pixel high-definition movies are progressively drawn line after line, so they're not interlaced. On paper, that may not seem like a huge deal. But in the real world, what you end up seeing looks sharper and more defined than 1080i, particularly during scenes with a lot of fast motion.

Simple version, its two diferent ways to show the same picture. Both mthods got its ups and downs. !!

Progressive is a better choice, but will be more demanding of your system
